This pattem works well with the main stitch pattem, howeverif you want to use a different ribbing, just make sure it works with the number of stitches needed in the main (Textured Acorn)pattern, and if not compensate by increasing or decreasing the appropriate nunber of stitches in a set up round, before knitting Round 8 of the Ribbing Chart
